[RFC 2/2] mac80211: implement off-channel TX using hw r-o-c offload

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

When the driver has remain-on-channel offload,
implement off-channel transmission using that
primitive.
